Library Journal
Travel writer and London resident Hone has compiled a travel guide for those wanting to plan a memorable and luxurious honeymoon but have no idea where to start. Covering over 500 hotels in 46 countries, from England and the Caribbean to Argentina and Hong Kong, Hone provides advice on where to go sailing or on a safari and what time of year to go: London (at Claridge's) anytime; Marrakech from October through May at La Mamounia and the Regent; and Fiji from May to October. The information provided for most of the few hotels listed is detailed and often indicates whether the hotel can host the wedding. Advice on the practicalities (visas, waiting periods) of getting married in various countries is minimal, as is the information on sightseeing and restaurants. This work is a useful starting place for any traveler looking for new countries to visit, but once a location had been chosen, additional, more detailed information will be needed.
